Hahaha! I ate two of the three. The third dish I shared, as I was absolutely bursting! Didn't realise the portions were "main portions size"... thought I was in for tasters and got the whole lot. Lucky me.
Tploomis, I am the same about exercise. I thought about making a little chart in my room to help visualise how my Km's in the gym treadmill can translate to where I am on a "virtual" camino. It's not the same. But hey, it might help so I just might do it. That way, I hope to keep myself...
Marylynn! So grateful for this link! I am reading this during my work lunch break and had to stop reading because it's too intense and I want to savour it in privacy! Can't wait to get home! You are very lucky to have done multiple trips! Perhaps for us Camino alumni, it's not only BUEN...
Hi Angie! I walked from Sarria to Santiago in 5 days. I flew into Santiago from London Stansted, then took a bus from the airport to Lugo, then another bus to Sarria. I booked my accommodation in advance, which included breakfasts and dinners, for 585euros per person (2 people sharing a...
Margaret! Bull's eye!!! Thanks for the link to the confraternity. I read with gusto the article about returning from the Camino (when yellow arrows no longer mark the way). On the Camino i was not alone, and in my post Camino blues, I am still not alone...
Margaret! You're amazing. Inspiring. Do you know if there are any Camino groups in London? I googled it and found a restaurant :( Is there like an online list of camino groups around the world?

Hi Alexandra! You lucky duck. I did Sarria to Santiago in 5 days: Sarria to Portomarin, Portomarin to Palas do Rei, Palas do Rei to Arzua (super long day of 34km according to fitbit pedometer when the guidebook says 28km), Arzua to Amenal, Amenal to Santiago.
I followed the above itinerary...
Thank you for all your replies. I think the camino for me was a sort of retreat -- a pulling away from all the trappings of life -- and boy did it feel great! And as you say, the lesson of living the moment is important. Today is also another opportunity given to me, and I should take it with...
Hello, all. I got back from the camino two days ago. I had a wonderful experience walking from Sarria to Santiago. I spent my entire first day back in bed (presumably to catch up on sleep and rest), and noticed yesterday that I could have done the same if not for an appointment with a new...
